Back to the subject...I just witnessed a 16 year old girl ruin a Christmas at the local c-store.
Its important to remember that our mom and pop c-store is locally owned and run in a very small community. We are country and have a lot of patience with outsiders, but we know and protect our own.
For reasons unknown someone stopping for gas had ignored the handy trash bins at the pumps to walk across the parking lot to throw her trash over the locked gate onto the dumpster. Unfortunately, she also had her keys in her hand and they went into the rather full dumpster as well.
She came running in and demanded that the only clerk working stopped ringing people up so she could go out and open the dumpster. She was begging and in a hurry, so we all nodded and kinda ambled to the door to watch the clerk unlock the gate.
Once the gate was opened we could clearly tell that the customer expected the clerk to go dumpster diving after the keys. I'm pretty gimpy these days so I didn't get there fast enough to hear what was being said but the other 2 customers ran over and pretty much told the lady that she was the idiot who threw her keys in the dumpster, she was the one who was going into the dumpster after them.
As we all started walking away, clerk included, the woman started screaming that the clerk and everyone in this hick town had totally ruined her Christmas and that she was going to get us all fired.
I know I don't get a Ruined Christmas point for that, but could I get a percentage of one?
